This wine is exactly what I wanted. I knew it would be good after touring the winery and hearing the history but this wine delivers. Citrus/lychee/ floral aroma and flavor. Everybody should drink this wine even if they're not the biggest chardonnay fans.

I had to reconfirm my initial impression. And while my first score seemed a bit high I still think this is some amazing juice.
